 Minor bike problems already - RattleandSmoke
Done about 30 miles in my new bike now and have noticed some minor problems with it which I hope is just teething issues.

1) It will not go into the high gears, if it is a car it would only go into 4th and not 5th but the rest change very smoothly.

2) I did some minor off roading today (on a gravel track and grass) and one of my rear brake pads has come loose, I assume it was never tightened properly.

Is it worth taking the bike back for adjustment or can I do this myself? I am sure I can sort the brake pad out but I have no idea how to adjust the gears easily.
